Anyone reckon we could attract the cypriot CD / LB from standard liege , liked the look of him v. scotland and indeed he reminds me of our very own john 'bomber' brown in style . he isnt the tallest but is a good mix of football and aggression and spirit. Konstantinos Laifis .

I'm sure there will be a list of targets and we move on to the next however, given our policy of picking up proven players in this league for free, i'm surprised we didn't bring back Halkett from Livi. Would have been perfect back up.

I was of the opinion the defence was good enough to not require much money be thrown at it,I’d have settled for Halkett and a Suchy or similar in who were both available on bosmans.
It appears the staff think different and you have to respect that, they see the players every day after all.

I am unapologetically a big fan of Katic in fairness so probably biased.

Defender Jake Cooper has signed a new "long-term" contract with Championship side Millwall.
The 23-year-old, who joined from Reading on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee in July 2017, has been ever-present in the league this season.
He played 38 Championship games last term, helping Millwall finish in eighth place, and won the club's young player of the season award.
The length of Cooper's new contract has not been revealed.

As sad as it is to say it,someone who can play consistently well on the shitey artificial pitches in our league is an asset for that alone-I do like Halkett though,and for free would have been decent business imo.

I've got Big Balls

I doubt very much that he is a primary or particularly important target. He’s available now hence we’ve made a move. Not many tears will be shed if he doesn’t end up at Ibrox. This isn’t the days of Warburton where the signing of an unproven player from the likes of Oldham would be considered as key.

If you speak to pretty much any Hearts fan, they say the exact opposite. They view Berra as by far the better of the two (even as he gets on in age and despite his screw up in the recent cup final); most of them don’t particularly rate Souttar and think that he is pretty lost when Berra isn’t alongside him.

But we don’t need to worry. We won’t be signing Berra. We are looking for two centre halves though - one as a starter (Katic might yet find himself the odd man out and as CB3) and a second as a more development type CB4.

Yes, after the story the other day about the scouting department, data, video, live scouting, we will have a number of targets identified, I’m sure. The press will only be aware of some of what’s going on.
